Hey people, April is coming soon, and it is bringing the Easter Bunny with it. I have been thinking for a while of a nice contest to have with a cool prize in it. Homebrew contests are great (I did organize a huge homebrew contest back in 2011 with insane cash prizes) but difficult and long to organize. They also are restricted to developers.

With Easter coming soon, I had the opportunity to start a fun and simple contest that everyone can take part in: We’re going to hide easter “eggs” on the website. The Eggs will not be made of chocolate (mostly because sending chocolate through the intertubes could damage our server and reduce your internet speed), but they will contain PSN Codes.

And because I didn’t want this contest to be only fun, but also epic, we are giving away not $50, not $100, but $1000 in PSN Codes!

We will hide “Easter Eggs” in various locations and shapes on the site (and on our twitter and facebook pages), in the following sections:

There is no catch, the Easter eggs will be spread throughout the website, there is no need to register to anything and everyone can participate, simply by browsing the sections mentioned above. The trick, as in all Easter Egg Hunts, is to actually find the eggs. If you find one, snatch the PSN Code and redeem it on your Playstation account, done! What the eggs look like might vary depending on my mood, there will be easy and difficult ones.

Unlike real life eggs though, it is possible that you find eggs that have been found by someone else before you. In that case, the PSN code will of course not work a second time, so don’t get discouraged and keep looking.

$1000 will be given away in this contest, between now and 4/20 (Easter Sunday) included. As you read this, we’ve already hidden 10 eggs, worth $10 each, for a total of $100. And here’s a hint: 2 eggs are hidden in this article. Can you find them? (Yes, it’s that easy, here’s a $10 US PSN Code: TB6J-5MNH-734N)

you people must be pretty damn ***. If you actually read the article, youd know that wolo put up 10 codes that were woth $10 a piece today. *** morons. You just have to be fast enough to get them before anyone else.

It’s not an april fools joke people. If it says invalid it just means you were late. Only 10 codes have been released thus far (to my knowledge), you’ll just have to wait for the next batch or keep looking for a code yet to be redeemed (though i doubt the later, sorry). Best keep an eye out here and or wololo’s twitter channel for more info. Best of luck to all.

I thought it was an April fools joke. Then I found 2 but those were prolly redeemed already. After finding a fifth but still “The code you entered may not be correct or may no longer be valid. Please check your entry.” I’m starting to feel a fell for the joke. >.>

I lost hope after a few used codes but later found a working one (HOURS ago). Keep at it, if only 10 have been released so far then that means there’s 90 or so codes to be relesed / redeemed yet.

“We will be hidding more and more eggs every day, until Easter Sunday” Check daily! Check the time this topic was created and aim for a similar time tomorrow, remember lwolo lives in Japan. Needless to say, if you are late, you may only find used codes till the next day :/

And continue to expect that if you continue to bother with this. It’s a ninja giveaway and there is no such thing as ninjas. Just luck of catching the exact, precise second an egg is posted and using super human fingers to type in the code fast enough and crossing your fingers and legs that PSN’s PC web store doesn’t blink.
